Opening architecture to make air travel safer and easier
A new platform invites experts to quickly create upgrades to existing screening measures at airports. When adopted, travelers can look forward to increased safety and shorter lines at airport security.
Measuring a quantum computer’s power now faster and more accurate
Quantum computers, like the top picks in a sports draft, are highly valued and constantly evaluated. Sandia scientists invent a new yardstick for benchmarking their performance.
Sandia shines in inaugural Bay Area postdoctoral research SLAM
Three postdoctoral researchers distilled their ideas into three-minute presentations to participate in the inaugural competition.
This device could usher in GPS-free navigation
Sandia scientists designed and built a handheld device that tracks navigational measurements. This technology could be a pivotal component of next-generation navigation systems.
What if the secret to your brain’s elusive computing power is its randomness?
A group of scientists were awarded a $6 million project to design a computer that leverages unpredictability and mimics how the brain processes information.
Drew Kouri awarded DOE Early Career Research Program grant
The DOE awarded the grant to Drew for his algorithms that solve complex problems in technical fields that may involve uncertain or inexact responses. The grant provides funding for five years to cover his salary and research expenses.
Sandia 3D-imaging workflow has benefits for medicine, electric cars and nuclear deterrence
The new method produces a range of computer-simulated outcomes, which could equip engineers and doctors with better information.
Extending nuclear power accident code for advanced reactor designs
Sandia expands its accident modeling software, called Melcor, to help the Nuclear Regulatory Commission evaluate the safety of new nuclear reactor designs.
Demonstration of high-speed alloy creation might revolutionize hydrogen’s future
A group of Sandians and international collaborators use computational models to predict the phenomena that occurs when hydrogen interacts with metals.
Pathways to production
RetSynth software helps scientists identify the series of biological and chemical reactions needed to modify the molecules in a cell and ultimately create a desired biological product.
